Mr O'Connor remarked that in difference to polio vaccination per sisted today despite the horrifying example last, year, in the Detroit, area, where an epidemic struck down 876 perons, 23 of whom died In Detroit and in other areas where polio struck last year, the bulk of cases were from low income areas where relatively small portions of tiie population had secured the an ti-polio vaccinations So far in 1959 the number of polio cases has ex ceeded the number for the same period in 1953. . Vaccination of both children and adults must start immediately if our nation is to ward off polio disaster next summer," Mr. O’Con nor said, adding, "There is still time to get. in two of the three shots before the polio season is up on us " Xavier Names A Board Os Lay Regents NEW ORLEANS (AttPi - The formation of a Board of Lay Re gents at Xavier University was an nounced this week by Sister M Josephine, president.

You could, perhaps, write the history of the growth of man in terms of his great concern about water. The habits of men have probably been influenced more by their r lose association with water than with the land by which they earned their bread Like air, water is so closely bound to man’s evolu tion that it may well be the limit ing factor in his destiny Maybe we can better understand the need for water in plant growth j if we examine some figures to see i how it constitutes the greater put I of living plants: 90 per cent of the j edible parts of such vegetables as j cabbage and spinach; 85 per cent of j the fruit of the apple and straw'- j berry: 65 per cent of the green ■ weight of leaves and succulent | twigs; and 79 per cent of the weight of roots It serves as a solvent, for mineral nutrients that enter the plant through the roots and arts aa a. medium through which substances are trans ported within the plant tissues. Approximately .1.999 gallons of water per tree, is required to mature a crop of peaches. This is the amount actually used by ♦he tree and does not Include water tost by run-off. seepage, or evaporation from the soli surface. Tremendous quantities of water are lost by transpiration from the leaf surface. Some plants have structural adaptations which re duce water losses These include; reduction of leaf surface in the needles of conifers, heavy curio on the leaves of the jade plant, pube scent thairy) leaves of the African violet and modified stems and leaves on the cactus How much water to apply? How often? Only you ran determine this because so much depends up on your soil type, the equipment used, the competition from roots of shade trees, rainfall, wind and temperature.
